ON Need help sourcing door panel!

Hey everyone, I need help finding a great condition factory painted white FD passenger door panel. I got backed into a couple of months ago while downtown in Ottawa. I have since moved to London, ON just as a note in terms of where I'd need the panel shipped to.

There is no mechanical damage to the door but the paint did crack. I do not want to fix it and have to blend my otherwise flawless factory job. One more thing to mention is that at the very bottom of my doors there is approximately 4" of clear weather proofing. I don't know if the original owner added this or if it was a factory option.

A few friends in the states have suggested sourcing it from Japan but unless its way more $$$ I`d rather go local.

Thanks for any helpful advice in advance.

I would suggest you get it fixed as you could get another door from somewhere and even though its the same colour it may still not me quite the same.

I suspect you can just order it from the dealer if you have the part number. Here you will find the chassis parts catalogs:

Post pics of the door.

Likely far cheaper to just repair and paint it.

I've never run across a used door that didn't require painting because generally speaking, a mint condition door is still in use. Given the low number of white FD's around anyways, I'd be hard pressed to think you could get a white door at a reasonable pirce if it was mint.

If there's 8-12" of undamaged panel at either end of the door (ie. the damage is in the center) you should be able to easily blend the colour within the panel.

Here is some pictures of the damage.

Also, to my joy and surprise a couple of days ago I had blue smoke on start up... long story short I'm on the market for quality used sequentials as well.

P.S. Fourth picture does indeed have my dog in it.
